Provide an explanation of user email settings tokens

This seems to be old code from user.admin.inc (part of the user module). The current code/text is more descriptive, so this seems fixed?

Current code:

  // These email tokens are shared for all settings, so just define
  // the list once to help ensure they stay in sync.
  $email_token_help = t('You can use the following tokens in your e-mail message text: !site-name-token, !site-url-token, !user-name-token, !user-mail-token, !site-login-url-token, !user-edit-url-token, !user-one-time-login-url-token, !user-cancel-url-token', array('!site-name-token' => '[site:name]', '!site-url-token' => '[site:url]', '!user-name-token' => '[user:name]', '!user-mail-token' => '[user:mail]', '!site-login-url-token' => '[site:login-url]', '!user-edit-url-token' => '[user:edit-url]', '!user-one-time-login-url-token' => '[user:one-time-login-url]', '!user-cancel-url-token' => '[user:cancel-url]'));

True for new users/admins, but the interface gives you example usage, so I still think there is enough clarifying information here:

[user:name],

A site administrator at [site:name] has created an account for you. You may now log in by clicking this link or copying and pasting it to your browser:

[user:one-time-login-url]

This link can only be used once to log in and will lead you to a page where you can set your password.

After setting your password, you will be able to log in at [site:login-url] in the future using:

username: [user:name]
password: Your password

--  [site:name] team

no patch here, so active

never paid close enough attention, but i found myself wondering this today as well! the !mailto token i found to be the email for the person who is registering. i definitely second the idea of clearer description of each token on the registration settings page. i went ahead and figured out what they all are just in case anyone comes across this one:

Tokens are:
!username - requested username during registration process
!site - Site name from Site Configuration page
!password - temporary pwd selected by system or the chosen password by the user
!uri - uri to site (including http://)
!uri_brief - uri to site (without http://)
!mailto - email of user registering
!date - registration date (Medium format)
!login_uri - link to /user page
!edit_uri - link to /user/[uid]/edit page
!login_url - one-time use link for logging in

Useful post, scot.self. Thank you.

Not much has changed since this issue was created.

I think the policy is still that bugs have to be fixed in the current version of Drupal before they are fixed in an older one, so I am changing the target branch to 9.4.x. I am also updating the issue summary.

The code snippet is now in Drupal\user\AccountSettingsForm::buildForm():

    $email_token_help = $this->t('Available variables are: [site:name], [site:url], [user:display-name], [user:account-name], [user:mail], [site:login-url], [site:url-brief], [user:edit-url], [user:one-time-login-url], [user:mail-change-url], [user:cancel-url].');

Changing this to a task because I think it would just be an improvement. Since the OP, the token format has changed and I think it is much more clear what they all mean.
